This morning a piece of the Christian scripture was read in which there was a parable about a crippled lady. The lady had been crippled to the point where she had been bent over looking at the ground for 18 years. During one of his preaching’s, Jesus notices the lady and calls her forward. He asks the lady why she faces the ground and he tells her to face up towards God. He places his hand on the lady and she rises up and rejoices.
This parable has the potential to be so powerful if we would just let it reach us. We spend so much time looking down and letting life pass us by. We need to straighten up and face life. I believe that so many people go through life completely asleep to what is right in front of them and never even know it. We are so caught up in what is going to happen next or what already is happened that we are missing what is happening now. It is time that we wake up and open our eyes to the beauty of life
